Well, well, well.  American Idol has come to a close and David Cook has emerged victorious!  I didn't pick him to win it all, but two of my original picks for the top three made it to the top three!  Syesha and David Archuletta.  When I made my top 12 predictions David Cook had not yet put the throwdown on us.  We hadn't seen Billy Jean yet.  Had he done that... I most certainly would have had him winning it all!  The finale was awesome and I am actually looking forward to seeing what this batch of Idol contestants canpump out for music lovers to buy.  But now that David Cook is going to Disney World, what will I do with my Tuesday and Wednesday nights? It's barely over and already I'm having Idol and reality show withdrawal symptoms!

Summer television is not what it used to be -- the boring movie re-runs and lame re-runs of fall and spring shows are gone.  Now we have new television exclusively for the summer!  Which means, being the tv addict that I am, I will never get a chance to really enjoy the outdoors!  Alright, maybe I'm overreacting!  I do have three TiVos after all!

So what are looking forward to in summer TV?

Here's my top list:

So You Think You Can Dance (season 3 for a favorite show), The Mole (one of my favorites is back!), Wipeout (a new competition show for ABC), America's Got Talent (can a ventriloquist take it again?), Million Dollar Password (stakes on that old show just got substantially higher!), Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (love love love Kathy!), Celebrity Family Feud (that could be super fun!) and Big Brother!

See you around the FOXbox!

MISS HELEN WHO LIVES IN INDIAN RIVER PLANTATION WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO SPONSER DANNY AND I TO HAVE THE CEREMONY AT MY DREAM LOCATION!! THIS PLACE IS GORGOUS!! I AM SO THANKFUL!!

Just curious as to how many watched/are watching the program on PBS titled "Carrier" this week about Navy Aircraft Carrier USS Nimitz?  I have been watching it, and so far, am fairly pleased with it.  I have learned some things that I wasn't familiar with, didn't know, and saw parts of a ship I didn't get the chance to before.  For the most part, the Nimitz isn't much different than the might G Dub that my husband is a part of.

I have to admit though, I am a bit disappointed that there was so much coverage about aviation and aircraft.  I realize that these ships are floating runways, and aircraft carriers are mainly about aviation.  And if it were not for the fact for me having a direct connection, perhaps I would know no different.  I just thought there would be more coverage about other shops/departments, and so on.  I am enjoying the program though, and plan on purchasing the entire set as my children don't get to stay up that late to watch it.

I hope you have had a chance to see it.  I do think that PBS will re play it.  So, if you've missed it, please check your local listings and watch the program. 

If you've been watching, please weigh in your comments!  I'd love to hear what you think!

It was an afternoon full of silliness on Friday, March 28, 2008.

Main Street in downtown Norfolk was filled with people who came out during the lunch hour to watch residents and local business people in their goofiest costumes, participate in the annual Doo Dah Parade.

Well, well, well. Despite my best attempts and multiple calls for Chikezie, it wasn't enough to save him this week!  The bottom three was Jason, Syesha and Chikezie and my boy went home.  I knew he wouldn't win it, but I thought for sure he had a few more weeks in him. 

Syesha FOR SURE didn't deserve to be in the bottom three this week.  I did think Jason should be, but didn't think voters would hang him out to dry. 

I think the missing piece this week in the whole voting scheme of things -- David Cook!

He rocked BILLIE JEAN out and I think a lot of folks who wouldn't have voted for him or hadn't voted for him before, DID pick up the phone on that performance!  It was amazing!

But honestly, Chikezie?  Syesha?  Ramiele didn't perform as well as either of them.  David Archuleta was BORING and where was Kristy Lee in the bottom three this week?  Wel in case you didn't know -- someone has adopted her!  Votefortheworst.com is back and campaigning to keep her in -- urging people to vote for her for laughs!  Check out the link if you want!
